Biography
Kamel was the second cousin of Saddam Hussein, but after he married his daughter Rana Hussein, Kamel became his son-in-law as well. He served as the commander of the Iraqi Republican Guard during the Iran-Iraq War and fought on the home front of the war against the Iranian Army. Kamel was replaced by Qusay Hussein, Saddam's son, and Kamel grew tired of the nepotism. In 1995 he gave information to the CIA and MI6 about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and defected from Iraq. Believing that he was pardoned, he returned to Iraq in 1996 but was killed in a gun battle alongside his brother.
